Ichika needs roughly 23 minutes for the first shift to kick in (13 in fanon), while Houki, supported by Tabane, reached first shift in roughly 7 minutes (at least that's what Tabane claimed).

Yeah, talk about nepotism

@ Box
I just don't like when something is stated as important yet disregarded as unimportant later, and really, is there's any reason to let Houki jump over two ranks just because that allowed the asspull overpowered weapon to materialize?

Chifuyu might said it isn't THAT important because overtime the sync level will climb, as long as you keep improving yourself. But once again, jumped three times is plain mean.

I wonder what would happen if a guy (Not Ichika) tried to physically put on the suit? Would it collapse?

On the guy, most likely.

Would the IS pilot suit protect against water, heat, electricity etc etc?

At least water is not (it was designed to absorb sweat), dunno with the later, but I doubt there's any cloth that is truly fireproof.

I once propose that theory, which you said is uncertain as the only man-portable I.S. weapon seen are Natasha's wings and Uchigane Sword carrier by Chifuyu. Given time, canon MIGHT explore into this region.

In mine, there's always a price followed. Besides being heavy as fuck, I.S. weapon are notorious for high recoil (in case of solid projectile weapon) or high energy requirement. The problem of the former is that to find alternative power for PIC, which is energy hogging by itself.

Joshua for example has his rifle mounted into a superheavy tripod with complex recoil-absorbing mechanism, while Natasha use a pair of large battery to power the wing weapon (at semi automatic instead of rapid barrage).

Still, miniaturized version does exist and alternative approach is widely used (such as improved ammunition, stronger frame, or other enhancement for existing weapon design)

Not really counter productive. Think of this, you have this FN P90, but due to advanced material caused by the invention of the I.S., body armor become much better, as the result, you have a light submachinegun that is practically impotent.

What do you need? More powerful ammo, with more solid penetrator for taking care of the pesky armor. To compensate, better material is needed for the frame, as well as more complex recoil dampening mechanism.

Works like above, but practically applied to anything. To the point that even normally harmless 20mm vulcan can be a threat to I.S. given sufficient barrage.

Dokuganryu Ichika will take 10 or more like... really easy. My version limit his enemies to 5, assuming they have the same level of fighting skill as himself (he has both superior body and unit), if they're less skilled than than him, the number increased.

During Madoka confrontation arc, he fought seven mooks but largely on defense, with liberal dose of evasion, only able to take two enemies before reinforcement came and curbstomp the rest.

How the heck does Cecilia partial summon and use that sniper of hers with no recoil or difficulty in aiming whatsoever?

For my fic, it's mostly rule of cool. Then again, I'm pretty sure Personal IS pilots (aside from Ichika) would have some degree of training in engaging in partially deployed IS units.

Edit: Too ill to start on Chapter 10... Logging off for now.

I'm more keen into the idea that PIC still working, why else Rin can punch the floor and not shatter her arm? This MIGHT explain why Ichika survived Cecilia punch in the beach incident, and the fact that Rin punched him repeatedly in golem scene and he's not even scratched.

@'Stratos - Oddly enough, she actually seems to have sniper training. She leaves the posistion after every shot and does things a normal sniper does.

@'Senpai - Do you know Crisis core? I planned to have Ichika fight nearly an army of mass produced IS before getting killed. This is the bad future, so this is a given. Unfortunately, Kazuma saw this and became scared of the IS as a result. This is also the one that made him stop being an emotionless boy (He cried afterwards for Ichika when he told him to run and not get caught).

Chifuyu used a full body suit? Anyway, does Ichika ever use anything other than or upgrade from Byaku-shiki? He needs more than that to go on.

If the IS gets damaged/cracked, do you think this would carry over to the partial form like it getting cracks or missing pieces?
